A person is guilty of a controlled substance offense when they knowingly possess a usable quantity of contraband or a device used to ingest a controlled substance. A paraphernalia offense can only be charged as a misdemeanor, while, possession of a controlled substance can be charged as either a misdemeanor or felony.

Persons charged with paraphernalia or drug possession offenses are often eligible for a probation only sentence, no jail time will be required and a defendant will only be required to comply with probation and take substance abuse classes. If probation is successfully completed, the charge will be dismissed without tarnishing a person's permanent record.

Selecting an attorney is often a difficult process. Be sure to discuss with whomever you choose, any and all viable defenses. Should fighting your case at trial not be the best option, talk to your attorney about the possibility of an alternative sentence, such as community service, electronic home monitoring or work furlough. A plea bargain can often be negotiated to reduce fines or allow for an extended payment period.
